Outlook Express
Summary: Outlook Express does not have a calendar, nor does it have an add-on to perform that function.
In a word, no. And unfortunately, it gets even a little worse than that. • There's not even an add-on to perform the function that I'm aware of. As I discussed "How do Outlook and Outlook Express Relate?", Outlook Express wasn't really designed to support add-ons, calendar or otherwise. If you don't like Outlook (which does have a calendar, and much more), my recommendation is to find a separate, stand-alone calendaring or personal information management package to run in addition to Outlook Express.

I did not know that there were two different Outlook progreams. I used Outlook at work for many years. But when I retired had had to buy one it never occured to me to ask for Outlook and could not figure out why I didn't have a calendar. We need calendars to keep "track of"stuff" like birtdays and appts. Can Idownload Outlook or go to Best Buy?

Posted by: Ann Wefald at July 2, 2005 5:44 PMOutlook (not Outlook Express) is part of Microsoft Office and must be purchased, either as part of Office, or I believe there is an Outlook-only option as well. In other words: Best Buy (or other retailer).

Posted by: Michelle at August 26, 2007 8:20 PMI am using outlook express for my email.
Posted by: GTS at October 4, 2007 1:18 PMI am using outllok for the calendar.
both on the same computer.
I want to export the email files to outlook and begin using ONLY outlook.
Will I lose the calendar data on oultook after I export/import from outllok express to outlook?
I use Thunderbird at home. (I am stuck with MS products at work). Thunderbird has Lightning (a plug-in) which I have started using and LOVE. My wife uses Outlook at work and said that Lightning seems to do everything Outlook does. I'm sure there are differences, but at first glance, it seems great.
Not to bash MS just for the sake of it, but MS really is more interested in rushing buggy products to the market so they can increase their profits. I like Mozilla and other Open Source products because they are interested in supplying a good product, not the bottom line for some investors.
